Every ship within range of an AIS receiving station. There are deadspots far out and see and behind obstructions.

#8A couple of observations I thought were interesting:
Very few ships travel around the southern tip of South America
A corrupted data point sends it flying across Russia and into Southern Europe.
A lone ship travelling to Svalbard.
Multiple ships travelling in rivers deep into Russia.
Control of the nine-dash-line area would yield huge economic influence to the controller.
